K-PACIFIC

is a great name for a ship! Love it! I also love how the light of the late afternoon shines upon this gnarly container ship in this photo. Too bad it was so hazy. Garden Paradise Kitakyushu's air quality seems sketchy these days...

K-PACIFIC container ship at sunset in blue sea under hazy sky

Ship Freakazoid used an Olympus E-520 DSLR digital camera with Zuiko 150mm lens on this very cold and windy January 30, 2025 late afternoon of ship spotting the Kanmon Straits. Japan Maritime Self Defense Force helicopter carrier HYUGA (DDH-181) was in the straits at the same time, but K-PACIFIC seemed to smile for the camera a little bit better...
